if circle O has a circumference of 37 meters and circle P has a circumference of 148 meters, then what is the scale factor from O to P?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the scale factor from circle O to circle P based on their circumferences, you can use the formula for the scale factor, which is the ratio of the circumference of circle P to the circumference of circle O.

The circumferences are given as follows:

• Circumference of circle O = 37 meters
• Circumference of circle P = 148 meters

Now, calculate the scale factor:

\[ \text{Scale factor} = \frac{\text{Circumference of circle P}}{\text{Circumference of circle O}} = \frac{148 \text{ meters}}{37 \text{ meters}} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ \text{Scale factor} = \frac{148}{37} = 4 \]

Thus, the scale factor from circle O to circle P is 4.
